A(2017·新课标全国卷Ⅰ)
Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
＂Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,＂ Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. ＂What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.＂
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. ＂The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,＂ says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, ＂just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,＂ says Moran. ＂For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,＂ says Moran, ＂so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.＂
1. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A. To remember the birth of jazz.
B. To protect cultural diversity.
C. To encourage people to study music.
D. To recognize the value of jazz.
2. What does the underlined word ＂that＂ in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Jazz becoming more accessible.
B. The production of jazz growing faster.
C. Jazz being less popular with the young.
D. The jazz audience becoming larger.
3. What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
A. It will disappear gradually.
B. It remains black and white.
C. It should keep up with the times.
D. It changes every 50 years.
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Exploring the Future of Jazz
B. The Rise and Fall of Jazz
C. The Story of a Jazz Musician
D. Celebrating the Jazz Day
B
French writer Frantz Fanon once said: ＂To speak a language is to take on a world, a culture.＂ Since the world changes every day, so does our language.
More than 300 new words and phrases have recently made it into the online Oxford Dictionary, and in one way or another they are all reflections of today’s changing world.
After a year that was politically unstable, it’s not hard to understand the fact that people’s political views are one of the main drives of our expanding vocabulary. One example is ＂clicktivism＂, a compound of ＂click＂ and ＂activism＂. It refers to ＂armchair activists＂ — people who support a political or social cause, but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone. And ＂otherize＂ is a verb for ＂other＂ that means to alienate (使疏远)people who are different from ourselves — whether that be different skin color, religious belief or sexuality.zx*xk
Lifestyle is also changing our language. For example, ＂fitspiration＂ — a compound of fit and inspiration — refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy.
The phrase ＂climate refugee＂ — someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change—reflects people’s concern for the environment.
According to Stevenson, social media was the main source for the new expressions. ＂People feel much freer to?coin?their own words these days,＂ he said.
But still, not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream (主流的) dictionary. If you want to create your own hit words, Angus Stevenson, Oxford Dictionaries head of content development, suggests that you should not only make sure that they are expressive (有表现力的) and meaningful, but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud.
5. What is the article mainly about?
A. Some new word that got included into the online Oxford Dictionary.
B. The application of new words and phrases.
C. How a language mirrors the changing world.
D . The impact of social media on our language.
6. The underlined word ＂coin＂ in the second-to-last paragraph probably means .
A. use B. record C. change D. create
7. How is the article mainly written?
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By following a timeline.
D. By presenting research findings.
8. According to Stevenson, to make the words you invent popular, they should .
A. be easy to remember
B. have unique meanings
C. reflect the changing world
D. be meaningful, expressive and catchy
Ⅲ. 七选五型阅读理解
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Children art education is something that is much encouraged for children’s creative growth. This is necessary because a child can have a sense of appreciation of the arts and along with all the other things that they learn in school. 1
Children art education should be designed from a very early age so that they are allowed to express themselves freely in whatever way that they wish to. 2 However, the task of children art education is not a very easy one, because you have to find the right way in which you can help them get interested in what you are trying to teach them. 3 The physical space where the art education is to be carried out should also be carefully decorated to make it attractive to the children. Use of colors should be made in abundance (丰富) as that is what attracts a child first to it.
Displaying examples of artwork that you think would be important enough to influence the children is also a good idea. Of course, a photograph of a painting of the Madonna (圣母马利亚) is something that children might not appreciate. 4 This will be a source of inspiration for the children to try them out as well.
The creative process is something that you must not interfere with (干涉) during a children art education class. ____5____But after that, you must wait for the children themselves to come up with something meaningful to their ability. As long as the result is connected with the topic, every child’s art work is worth praising.
A. You can just give them a topic for drawing.
B. Instead, put up paintings that children will be fond of.
C. The reason for this could be the lack of interest in the teacher.
D. A trip to an art museum can be an inspiration to many students.
E. They also have a place where they can express all their feelings.
F. This is the only way that art can be appreciated as children grow up.
G. So creating the right environment for children art education is very important.

I. 完形填空
【文章大意】本文主要介绍了西班牙画家毕加索：他是立体主义的创始人，西方现代派绘画的主要代表，一生中创作了无数经典作品。
1. B 句意：今天，毕加索意味着艺术。从art的引号看出此处是比喻意义，说明毕加索成了艺术的化身、代表。
2. A Picasso是一位画家，设空处意为：其父亲也是画家，故此处应用also，＂也＂。
6. D 从下文的＂He had four children 7 three different women, two wives and many lovers.＂看出此处是指私生活，private＂私人的，私密的＂。
7. A 根据后面different women, two wives and many lovers可以看出，毕加索的四个孩子由＂不同的女人所生＂，by此处表示＂被/由……所生＂。
8. A 毕加索和Jacqueline Roque生活在一起，直到毕加索逝世。until表示某个动作持续到某个时间。
9. B 从＂moved into a different style＂看出此处指他的绘画生涯的开端。
10. C 在这一段讲述了3个时间段，一是at the beginning；二是when he started；三是空白处。从he developed his works into the famous style which is known as ＂Cubism＂可以看出这是顶峰时期，应该填入＂最后＂，故选C。
11. A also表明他还有两项绝活，一是空白处，二是poetry。poetry是诗的总称。D项poems与poetry重复，C项与上文的paintings重复，只有A项＂雕塑＂与绘画是并列关系。
12. D 此处构成more…than结构，由下文的作品数量可推断出他的作品＂多于＂其他人，不可能用fewer… than＂少于＂，C项用于修饰比较级。
13. C 从下文的＂in 1909＂以及下一段的内容可以看出此处是指20世纪早期，故应填early。
14. B 由第一段的…until he invented＂Cubism＂可知Cubist style是他创造的，故用invented。
15. D 由into small pieces看出此处表示＂把某物分割成碎片＂，divide...into...意为＂把……分成……＂，符合题意；A项表示把几个独立的个体隔离开；B项表示＂切断……的去路＂；C项表示＂扔＂。
16. C 此处They指毕加索和他的同事。从used brown colors看出主语应该是人，与上文中的They呼应。
17. C 从rapidly among the artists看出空白处应该填谓语动词，spread的过去式、过去分词同原形一样；spread rapidly among the artists意为＂迅速在艺术家们当中传播开来＂，因此选C项。
18. D 由artists added看出，艺术家要添加一些东西。添加，就是在原有基础上加上额外的物体，因此，此处填入extra。从in various可以排除A项，B项与various重复，C项意义不符。
19. C in the 1950s＂在20世纪 50年代＂，这是固定用法。如果考生认为works是被修饰的宾语，可能会误选those或some。
20. C 这是一个倒装句。时间状语Only after his death位于句首，主谓要部分倒装。在他死后，欣赏他的成就的只能是＂人们＂，不可能是＂他＂。综上可知选C。
【名师点睛】完形填空解题步骤：
1. 通读全文，理解大意。重视首句信息，跳过空格，浏览全文，从整体上感知全文，理解文章大意，这是解题的基础。学科&网
2. 瞻前顾后，避难就易。在理解文章大意的情况下，结合各选项的意义和用法，遵循先易后难的原则，先解决那些自己有把握的问题。对于少数难题，可以暂时跳过，或许在上文中难以判断的题在下文中就有暗示或者明显的提示，或许一个在前面不能解答的题在填出了另一空后会令你豁然开朗。
3. 复读全文，解决残留。借助已经补全的空格，我们对全文有了更清楚的理解，可以集中解决所遗留的少数疑难问题。
4. 再次复读，弥补疏漏，全部做好后，考生务必要结合自己选择的答案重新阅读短文内容，确保文意连贯。
II. 阅读理解
A
士乐的价值。故选D。
2. C【解析】 推理判断题。根据前文Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations可知尽管UNESCO为爵 士乐设了纪念日，但美国的爵士乐听众依然在减少，并且年龄在老化，爵士乐没能将年轻一代人连接 起来。再结合It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that(是Jason Moran的工作是帮助改变那一情况)可推 测that指代的是前文中爵士乐在年轻一代人中失去吸引力的现象。故选C。
3. C【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段中的The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same可知Moran认为现在爵士乐不能 以1908或1958年的方式来呈现，因为世界已经不同了，所以爵士乐必须不断进步，说明随着时代的 发展，爵士乐也要跟上时代才不会被年轻一代所抛弃。故选C。
4. A【解析】 标题选择题。通读全文可知本文主要讲UNESCO为提高人们对爵士乐的重视而设立爵士日， 但实际收效甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步，否则将失去对人们的吸引力，因此本文 主要是探索爵士乐的未来，故选A。
B
【语篇解读】正如法国作家Frantz Fanon所说的“讲一种语言，就是呈现一个世界，一种文化”，世界每天都在改变，我们的语言也是这样。最近有超过300个新词和短语被收入了牛津在线词典，它们都反映了当今世界的变化。文章以举例的方式介绍了几个这种新的词汇。
6. D【解析】词义猜测题。根据文章可知，很多的新词汇是在网上创造传播，所以此处理解为“网络社交媒 体是新表达的主要来源，现在人们更容易用自己的话来表达自己的想法”，所以这个单词“coin”是“创造” 的意思。故选D。
7. A【解析】细节理解题。根据文章中的内容可知，文章列举了好多的例子来说明一些新词汇的意思。故 选A。
8. D【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最有一段中“If you want to create your own hit words, Angus Stevenson, Oxford Dictionaries head of content development, suggests that you should not only make sure that they are expressive (有表现力的) and meaningful, but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud.”可知，如果你想自己创造的新词汇受欢迎，就要确保其有表现力和有意义，同时有吸引 力，人们将喜欢大声说出来。故选D。
Ⅲ. 七选五型阅读理解
【文章大意】为了儿童创造力的成长，儿童艺术教育是应该受到鼓励的。这种教育应该在早期安排，而且要找到他们感兴趣的方式，而且不要干涉他们创造的过程。
1. E 根据文章第一段中的＂This is necessary because a child can have a sense of appreciation of the arts and along with all the other things that they learn in school.＂可知，这是有必要的，因为伴随着孩子在学校里学习的其他东西，他们能拥有对艺术的欣赏。他们也可以有一个表达感情的地方。答案选E。
2. F 根据文章第二段中的＂Children art education should be designed from a very early age so that they are allowed to express themselves freely in whatever way that they wish to.＂可知，孩子们的艺术教育在早期就应该安排，这样他们就能用他们喜欢的方式自由地表达自己的思想。随着孩子们的成长，这也是艺术被孩子们欣赏的唯一方式。答案选F。
答案选G。
4. B 根据文章第四段中的＂a photograph of a painting of the Madonna (圣母马利亚) is something that children might not appreciate.＂可知，展示一张圣母马利亚绘画作品的照片，孩子们可能不会喜欢。相反，要张贴孩子们喜欢的绘画作品。答案选B。
5. A 根据文章第五段中的＂The creative process is something that you must not interfere with during a children art education class.＂可知，在儿童艺术教育的课堂上，你不能干涉创造的过程。你可以给他们提供绘画的主题。答案选A。
【技巧点拨】七选五解题技巧：
1. 先看选项，通过选项中句子的句意或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的可能位置。
2. 再看空前空后，由于句子与句子之间有一种相关的联系，所以我们可以在选项中寻找与空前空后的句子有某种必然联系的关键词，从而选择正确的答案。
3. 注意代词在句子中的使用，利用代词的指代作用，我们可以从选项中找到相关的信息。
4. 注意一些特殊疑问词，如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，那么就要寻找相对应的答语。
做题时需要注意的两个问题：
1. 如果问题设在段首，通常是段落的主题句。寻找主题句时，着重阅读后文第一、二句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词，最后看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。
2. 如果问题设在段尾，通常是结论或概括性的语句，关键词要在空白前的一句或两句中寻找。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如 therefore，as a result，thus，hence，in short，to sum up，to conclude，in a word等词语。

A
(2016·上海)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word ＂Poems＂ appeared in big, hot pink letters.
＂Is it good?＂ I asked her.
＂Yeah,＂ she answered. ＂There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.＂ I leaned forward.
＂‘Patty Poem,’＂ she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:
She never puts her toys away,
Just leaves them scattered① where they lay,… ①散乱的
The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:
When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重
I’ll miss her harum-scarum③ noise, ③莽撞的
And look in vain④ for scattered toys. ④徒劳地
And I’ll be sad.
A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.
＂It’s you, honey,＂ My mother said sadly.
To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the ＂she＂in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.
＂What’s wrong?＂my mother asked.
＂Oh Mama,＂I cried.＂I don’t want to grow up ever!＂
She smiled.＂Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?＂
＂Okay,＂I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.
I have since fallen in love with other poems, but ＂Patty Poem＂ remains my poem. After all, ＂Patty Poem＂ gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.
1. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?
A. It was a thick enough book.
B. Something on its cover caught her eye.
C. Her mother was reading it with interest.
D. It has a meaningful title.
2. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ___________ at first.
A. sad B. excited
C. horrified D. confused
3. The writer’s mother liked to read ＂Patty Poem＂ probably because ___________.
A. it reflected her own childhood
B. it was written in simple language
C. it was composed by a famous poet
D. it gave her a hint of what would happen
4. It can be concluded from the passage that＂Patty Poem＂leads the writer to ___________.
A. discover the power of poetry
B. recognize her love for puzzles
C. find her eagerness to grow up
D. experience great homesickness

Do you know Hamlet? Have you read Romeo and Juliet? These two great works are written by William Shakespeare, my favorite British writer.
Shakespeare was born in Britain in April, 1564. He went to the local school at the age of seven and mastered basic writing skills and had a good command of language. He went to London in 1586 when drama became popular. He showed great interest in acting and was once an actor and later a director and scriptwriter.
Shakespeare was a genius and productive dramatist and poet. He wrote 37 dramas and 154 sonnets, in which he created a series of impressive artistic images. He was regarded as ＂the man of all ages＂. He said, ＂Life is a stage＂, so we’re all actors and actresses. Let’s play our roles well on the stage.

Pre-school children who spend time together take on one another’s personalities, new research had found. The study reveals that environment plays a key role I shaping people’s personalities.
While genetics still forms the core of the human psyche(心灵), the research finds that personality traits are “contagious” among children.
“Our finding that personality traits are “contagious” among children flies a face of common assumptions that personality is ingrained(根生蒂固的) and can’t be changed,” said Dr Jennifer Neal, associate professor of psychology at Michigan State University and co-author of the study. “This is important because some personality traits can help children succeed in life, while others can hold them back.”
The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre-school classed for a full school year. One of the classes was a set of three-year-olds, and one a set of four-year-olds. Children whose friends were hard-working or outgoing gradually took on these personality traits over time. But children whose peers were anxious or easily frustrated did not take on these traits.
The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits.
A 2015 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person “like a disease”. Researchers form Sweden’s Lund University claimed that even petty (微不足道的) behavior, like not inviting someone to a communal event or spreading rumors, can start the cycle off. The study found that seeing a supervisor being rude to an employee was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them. Often, those who experienced rudeness would be rude to others.
Dr Eva Torkelson, a psychologist at Lund University, said the most common cause of people acting rudely at work was imitating others.
“An important finding form our study is that those who behave rudely in the work place experience stronger social support, which probably makes them less afraid of negative reactions to their behavior form managers and colleagues.”
Dr Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do, as it can grow and damage the atmosphere in the office.
1. What does the underlined word “contagious” mean in the second paragraph?
A. Faulty. B. Influential. C. Harmful. D. Troublesome
2. From the fourth paragraph, we can learn that .
A. children whose friends are hard-working can succeed more easily
B. children whose peers are easily frustrated can fail more easily
C. children of three years old have personalities that are more active
D. children of four years old have personalities that are less active
3. The 2015 psychology study indicates that .
A. rudeness at work should be banned totally
B. rudeness at work is beneficial occasionally
C. supervisors and employees can be influenced by the rudeness at work
D. rudeness at work like “a disease” cannot be changed
4. What can we conclude from Dr Eva Torkelson?
A. People who behave rudely will not gain support at work.
B. Bad behavior can be imitated in the workplace,
C. Managers will be more friendly to their employees in the future.
D. Rudeness can be a motivation for most employees.

Many kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务) such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. "Running any kind of household is a team effort," Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement(强化) to help motivate them.”zx&xk
What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?
5. How does the author start the passage?
A. By presenting some facts.
B. By listing some evidence.
C. By comparing different views.
D. By stating his own experiences.
6. According to Susie Walton, _______.
A. kids should be rewarded for doing chores
B. parents decide what kids can do for the family
C. kids have the responsibility to share housework
D. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores
7. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The advantages of rewarding kids for doing chores.
B. Chris Bergman’s opinion on raising kids.
C. Main reasons why kids need encouragement.
D. How to motivate kids to try new applications.
8. What’s the author’s attitude toward rewarding kids for doing chores?
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Critical. D. Neutral.

It is no doubt that health is the most important thing in our life. As a Chinese proverb go, ＂Health is blessing＂. Should we be always ill in bed, how can we enjoy life?
To keep healthy, we must develop a healthy way of life. First of all, we should keep on doing sports on a regularly basis, because it can strengthen both our body and mind, refresh ourselves and making us work more efficiently. Secondly, we must keep balanced diet to provide our body with various nutrition we need, but we should refuse junk food. Remember, it is through the mouth where diseases enter into our body. Thirdly, a good sleep is also vital to our health. Stay up too late at night often results in poor health. As middle school students, we need better sleep to do better in our lessons.

is no doubt that health is the most important thing in our life. As a Chinese proverb , ＂Health is blessing＂. Should we be always ill in bed, how? we enjoy life?
To keep healthy, we must develop a healthy way of life. First of all, we should keep on doing sports on a? basis, because it can strengthen both our body and mind, refresh ourselves and? us work more efficiently. Secondly, we must keep ?balanced diet to provide our body with various nutrition we need,? we should refuse junk food. Remember, it is through the mouth? diseases enter our body. Thirdly, a good sleep is also vital to our health. ?up too late at night often results in poor health. As middle school students, we need better sleep to do better in our lessons.
第一处：It→为There 此处为固定句式There is no doubt that毫无疑问。
第二处：go→goes 句意：正如一句中国谚语所说……，本句描述的是客观性事实，故用一般现在时态。主语proverb为单数名词，故谓语动词用第三人称单数。
第三处：can→could 句意：我们怎么享受我们的生活？should位于句首，在此处是虚拟语气。how could…经常用来表示语气强烈或是责备，how can…只表示根据客观事实的判断。故将can改为could。
第四处：regularly→regular 联系下文basis(基础)可知，此处用形容词作定语。故将regularly改为regular。
第五处：making→make 此处make和前文strength、refresh同为并列谓语，故也用动词原形。
第六处：keep后加a 联系下文＂balanced diet＂可知，此处指的是保持一个均衡的饮食。故加不定冠词。balanced词首音素是辅音，故不定冠词用a。
第七处：but→and 句意：并且我们应该拒绝垃圾食品。联系上下文可知，前后为顺接关系，but但是，表示转折关系。故改为and。
第八处：where→that 本句为强调句，强调疾病是通过口腔进入我们的身体的。故连接词用that。
第九处：去掉into enter进入，及物动词，后面直接接宾语。
第十处：stay→staying 句意：在晚上经常熬夜导致身体不适。根据语境可知，此处用动名词作主语。故将stay改为staying。

1. as 考查介词。句意：这一趋势最初始于医学界作为一种对抗心脏病的方法。as表示“作为，以…… 身份”，故填as。

Unit 4 Global warming

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各小题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出最佳选项。
Today the scientific community is in almost total agreement that the earth’s climate is changing and that this represents a huge threat to the planet and to us. According to a survey, with only 69% accepting the earth is warming— only 1/4 Americans see global warming as a major threat, public opinion 1 the scientific conclusion.
Climate scientists and campaigners have long debated how to better communicate the message to nonexperts so that climate science can be 2 into action. According to Christopher Rapley, the usual tactic(策略) of climate experts to provide the public with information isn’t 3 because ＂it does not address key potential causes.＂ We are all exposed to the evidence of climate change on an almost a daily basis. The information is almost 4 .
Then what’s wrong? 5 our brains.
Daniel Gilbert mentioned our brains’ failure to accurately notice gradual change. Robert Gifford also __6__ the point about our brains’ difficulty in grasping climate change because of limited cognition and social __7__ with other people (＂Why should we change if X won’t?＂) .＂ A more powerful barrier is the 8 of perceived(感知的) behavioral control; ‘I’ m only one person; what can I do ?’ is certainly a big one.＂ For many, the first challenge will be in recognizing barriers 9 they can overcome them.
But for those of us who understand that climate change is a problem yet make little effort to cut the number of overseas trips we make or the amount of meat we consume, neither the uncaring attitude nor denial really explains the 10 between our actions and beliefs. Lertzman has come to the conclusion that the conflict between __11 _ both the planet and our way of life is too painful to bear. ＂When we don’t 12 the pain of that, that’s when we get 13 and can’t move forward.＂ Lertzman refers to this 14 as ＂environmental melancholia(忧郁症),＂ and points out that there’s a lot to be said for providing a means 15 acceptable to talk about.＂
Rosemary Randall suggests that climate change is such a(n) 16 subject that it ＂can raise fears and anxieties that people feel have no 17 in polite conversation.＂
Lertzman says the community has been slow to realize the value of psychology. Gifford says otherwise, __18__ —＂climate change, and not mental health, is the biggest psychological problem＂.
Despite the pain, shame, difficulty in fully addressing climate change, both Lertzman and Gifford are still __19__ about our ability to face up to the challenge. ＂There can’t be anything about the human mind that stops us struggling with these issues given that so many people 20 are — maybe that’s what we should be focusing on instead.＂ says Lertzman.

A（2017·新课标全国卷Ⅰ）
A build-it-yourself solar still（蒸馏器） is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5＇5＇ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container — perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
1. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
A. It’s delicate. B. It’s expensive.
C. It’s complex. . D. It’s portable.
2. What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The tube. B. The still.
C. The hole. D. The cup.
3. What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still?
A. Dig a hole of a certain size. B. Put the cup in place.
C. Weight the sheet’s center down. D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
4. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from .
A. the plastic tube B. outside the hole
C. the open air D. beneath the sheet

Its most keen advocates say that global warming is gradually ruining our parts of our planet. But the effects of the phenomenon might be felt more positively a little closer to home, after scientists claimed that it would make flowers smell sweeter.
Some flowers could give out a smell that is nine times more fragrant than they currently produce, according to a report. It says that a temperature increase of between 1℃ and 5℃ will vastly increase the ability of flowers to produce their sweet smells.
The study suggests that plants are able to produce more terpenes (萜烯) — the chemicals that give them their smells — in hotter conditions. Despite the environmental risk linked to climate change, the effect on flowers could also help bee populations as the stronger smells make flowers easier to find and pollinate. It also found that the effect could be more significant in cooler countries such as the UK and would have a strong impact on fruit trees.
The findings come as the unseasonably warm autumn weather this year has led to reports that plants are being "tricked" into blooming early.
Guy Barter described the findings as interesting and said it could have a significant effect on lightly scented flowers. "We think about climate change in terms of rising temperatures and sea levels, but there are more delicate potential effects which we have not thought about," he said.
Last year, experts warned the average global temperature had risen by 0.5℃ in 50 years. They predicted temperatures will increase by 3℃ over the next century, causing a rise in sea levels, flooding, disease outbreaks and mass migration of refugees (难民).
The researchers looked at a variety of plants. In the paper the researchers said, "The species with the highest increases in emissions were those with the lowest fragrance rates. The increases calculated for floral terpene emissions show that very significant increases in the amount of floral scents will likely occur in a warmer world. The rates of floral terpene emission by the end of the century could increase 0.34—9.1 times because of a 5℃ increase in the average maximum temperature during the flowering peak of the season."
5. We can infer from the text that in England .
A. plants bore more fruits in autumn this year
B. the seasons weren’t in order this whole year
C. the autumn of this year was a little cooler
D. plants began to produce flowers early in autumn this year
6. What Barter said indicates that .
A. every coin has two sides
B. a miss is as good as a mile
C. don’t claim to know what you don’t know
D. don’t put the cart before the horse
7. The last paragraph implies that in hotter conditions .
A. plants will have the lowest fragrance rates
B. plants will send more sweeter chemicals
C. plants will suffer the rising temperature
D. plants will finish their flowering peak soon
8. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Will plants produce more chemicals in the future?
B. Is it easier to find sweeter flowers everywhere?
C. Could global warming make flowers smell sweeter?
D. Do flowers smell stronger in the cold temperature?

A
2. B【解析】推理判断题。根据Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity 可知最好在潮湿的地方挖洞，以提高接水器的工作效率。“接水器”指的是在潮湿的地方挖洞，在洞的 底部放一个杯子，杯子上方用膜覆盖，整个装置构成接水器，而不是某个部分。这一题很容易错选D， 但是就算在干燥的地方挖洞，杯子也可以接水，杯子接水的事实并不会因为周围环境的变化而变化， 杯子的工作效率是不变的。故选B。
3. C【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock.可知最后一步是weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock(放一块石头在覆盖膜的中间，把它压下去)，故选C。
4. D【解析】推理判断题。结合第四段中的Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup可知地下水蒸发，在覆盖膜上聚集起来， 直到形成小水滴落在杯子里，覆盖膜是在杯子上面的，水滴落入杯子里，所以水滴是凝聚在覆盖膜的 下面。故选D。

8. C【解析】考查标题判断。本文主要介绍了植物能够在温度较高的环境中分泌更多产生香气的萜烯。气温 上升到1℃到5℃时能够极大地增强花朵产生香甜气味的能力。在全球气候变暖的影响下,一些花朵的气 味甚至比原来香甜了9倍。故C项最适合作文章的标题。

【语篇解读】文章对英国伦敦的公交车为什么选择红色作为装饰颜色进行了介绍。
1. a 考查冠词。此处指“一个红色的电话亭”。red是辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
2. carrying 考查非谓语。句子有谓语passes by，主语a big red double-floor bus与carry之间是主动关系， 所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故填carrying。
3. for 考查介词。此处表示“伦敦因为红色而出名”，运用be famous for…短语。故填for。
4. roofs 考查名词。根据前面的buses可知，此处用复数，指公交车的车顶。故填roofs。
5. themselves 考查代词。enjoy oneself是固定搭配，指“玩得高兴”。故填themselves。
6. have been used 考查时态和语态。根据时间状语since 1829可知，本句用现在完成时；主语they指代 Horse-drawn buses，与use之间是被动关系。故填have been used。
7. biggest 考查形容词。此处指最大的公司之一；one of the+形容词最高级+可数名词的复数形式。故填biggest。
8. it 考查代词。在此it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是for the citizens to pick out the bus。故填it。
9. widely 考查副词。此处指“最广泛使用的颜色”，修饰形容词used用副词。故填widely。
10. that 考查强调句。本句运用了强调句式“it is/ was+强调部分+that+句子其他部分”，在此强调了时间状语 “in the mid-1950s”。故填that。

引导该宾语从句；而that引导宾语从句时，在句中不充当任何成分，且没有意义。故将that改为what。
5. 考查动词。根据时间状语last weekend可知，本文讲述过去发生的事情，该句应用一般过去时，故将takes改为took。
6. 考查代词。本句主语为some girls，所以物主代词要用their。故将her改为their。
7. 考查非谓语动词。本句中已有谓语动词listened to，故此处应用非谓语动词形式，sing与其逻辑主语birds为主谓关系，故此处用现在分词在句中作宾语补足语，表示鸟正在唱歌。故将sings改为singing。
8. 考查形容词。此处修饰名词place，应用形容词，故将quietly改为quiet。
9. 考查不定代词。fishes此处指鱼，不是鱼肉，是可数名词其前用many修饰。故将much改为many。
10. 考查连词。 pleasant与exciting之间为并列关系，故将or改为and。

(2016·北京)Surviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪)
Natalie Doan,14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. ＂It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,＂ she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
＂My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,＂ Natalie says. ＂but I can always choose how I deal with it.＂
Natalie’s choice was to help.
She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. ＂I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,＂ Natalie declares. ＂My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.＂
1. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found _________.
A. some friends had lost their lives
B. her neighborhood was destroyed
C. her school had moved to Brooklyn
D. the elderly were free from suffering
2. According to paragraph4,who inspired Natalie most?
A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.
B. The people trapped in high-rise building.
C. The volunteers donating money to survivors.
D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.
3. How did Natalie help the survivors?
A. She gave her toys to the kids.
B. She took care of younger children.
C. She called on the White House to help.
D. She built an information sharing platform.
4. What does the story intend to tell us?
A. Little people can make a big difference.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. East or West, home is best.
D. Technology is power.
B
There exist cruel wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, so it’s not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us go through difficult times in our lives. Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.z.x.xk
I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their faces. They don’t get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor, we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness and bring a little light into our lives.
Therefore, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.
5. According to the passage, humor is necessary and essential because ______.
A. it can pick up people’s spirit
B. it can help people get on well with others
C. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world
D. it makes people more confident
6. The author answers the questioning the second paragraph with _______.
A. facts and descriptions
B. evidence and argument
C. examples and conclusion
D. stories and persuasion
7. The underlined phrase “busting a gut” in the third paragraph can replaced by ________.
A. keeping silent B. speaking loud
C. laughing hard D. explaining carefully
8. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to ________.
A. talk about his own understanding of humor
B. encourage people to be humorous in daily life
C. introduce a practical way to get through daily life
D. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life
9. What is the author’s attitude towards the present world?
A. Indifferent B. Positive
C. Satisfied D. Critical

Start with the base layer, which sits right on your skin: choose something that can absorb sweat. 2 . A sweater is a good choice. The most important layer is the outer clothes, which should be waterproof(防水的)and windproof.

You lose heat from every millimeter of uncovered skin, which was the biggest lesson I learned on this trip. My whole body was well covered. But I missed one sport: my face. So it often felt like the wind was going to blow my nose off.

故事类文章是高考阅读理解常选体裁之一。这类文章常通过叙述突出人物性格特征或讲述个人的经历与感悟，以及逸闻趣事。文章的要素有时间、地点、人物、事件等。有些是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的，在叙述的过程中有详有略；有些是按时间的顺序叙述的，有顺叙、倒叙等。
解题技巧：
1. 高考选用的此类文章常常为幽默类或情感类故事，其目的或阐明某种观点，或抨击某种陋习，或赞扬某种品德，所以要关注作者表达的个人感悟，提出的个人意见，或故事中出其不意的变化，而这些往往体现文章的中心或写作意图，属于必考点。如本题中的第4题：通过Natalie帮助他人的行为告诉读者小人物也可以有大作为这一道理。
2. 该类文章语言流畅、有趣，命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因后果等方面入手，考查学生的细节辨认能力以及推理判断能力。这类文章同学们常有文章易懂，题目不易做的感觉。要注意培养快速阅读的习惯。切不可在个别难懂的词句上停留太久，耽误时间。
3. 对整篇短文内容有了一定的了解后，要马上看短文后的问题，带着问题去选择或判断答案。要确定所需查找的信息范围，并注意所查找信息的特点。例如：如果问题或选项涉及到人名、地名，就应该找首字母大写的单词；如果问题或选项涉及时间、日期、数字，就应该寻找具体的数据。

6. C【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段中内容可知，作者经常和周围的人开玩笑， 说笑话，认为这不 仅缓解了任何情况下的压力，而且也是与周围的人交谈的一种常 见方式。作者描写第二段用了举 例和总结的方式。故选C。

Dear Jack,
I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable to go skating with you on this Saturday morning. I was told that my grandparents will pay a visit to us that morning and have a big family party. I do hope the change will not bring you any trouble.
I am wondering if you could make it on Sunday morning. We can start out early so that we 'll have enough time to practise the skills and enjoy the view in the park. If it's convenient for you, let's meet at 8:00 at the NO. 6 bus stop. If not, please let me know what time suits you best. I should be free any time after school next week.
Yours,zx？xk
